Testimonials

"A little known gem! High quality theatre at an affordable price on the Main Line. They produce a wide range of plays and musicals. Free parking in the VU Main Lot @ Lancaster & Ithan Avenues. Shows are on par with all professional theatres in Philadelphia...but the cost is much more reasonable. Perfect for an easy night out on the town, esp. with so many local restaurants nearby."

Better than some Off-Broadway performances I have seen. Bravo to cast and crew. A terrific afternoon of theater at a rock-bottom price. Who could ask for more?"
